Everyone has had a bad day at work; but one Texas repairman probably has you beat.
What started out as an ordinary day ended with a cry for help that no one took seriously for one man in Corpus Christi, Texas. The man who has not been identified was working on a bank’s ATM when he became stuck inside. Because the walls are so thick his voice did not carry to the people outside so he got a little creative. He began writing polite notes that read please help. I’m stuck in here. Please call my boss” and passing them through to customers.
Unfortunately they thought the whole thing was a joke and the repairman ended up stuck inside the ATM for three hours. Eventually one of the customers showed the note to a police officer who was passing by, that prompted a call to the boss and the launch of a rescue operation. When he was finally freed the man said he had left his phone in the car so the notes were his only option at getting free. Talk about a big withdrawal.
